What if the Church Was a Car Company
The Curt Jester linked to this article from the Catholic Register with his photo of Mary's Fiat...
"With the Catholic Church so much in the news these days, we have a real opportunity to explain the Church to those unfamiliar. Problem is, most people don't have a frame of reference for understanding the Church. But I think I can solve that problem. I have developed this handy guide to explain Catholic terms to non-Catholics in with a frame of reference that everyone can understand.
Think of the Church as a Car Company. Here is a glossary of common terms.
Confession: The repair department. For the measly price of a few 'Our Fathers', 'Haily Marys', and repentance you can have your car returned to factory condition.
Protestant: 500 years ago, mistaking the owners manual for the manufacturer, created their own breakaway companies convinced they could build a better car. After years of trying and many other spinoff companies, they successfully created thousands of mopeds. Shockingly, sales plummeted.
There's more!
